Early on , I thought getting hired was about proving you already know how to build everything from scratch.

​The deeper I got into interviews and projects, the more obvious it became, nobody expects a fresh grad to know their exact enterprise stack day one. They are just filtering for adaptability and core problem solving instincts. If you can break down ambiguous problems and learn fast, the rest is just reading docs and adapting on the fly .

​Do you think universities do a bad job explaining this to students, or is it something you just have to figure out yourself?

What's your opinion lmk.

Hey everyone ,

​I’m writing this because I honestly feel a bit lost, and I’m hoping to hear from people who have been through this or are going through it right now .

​Why does life after school move so ***incredibly*** fast ?

​I’m officially two years out of graduation, and looking back, it feels like a blur. I have a few friends left, but honestly? No real memories. Nothing monumental to look back on. Just a continuous loop of waking up, trying to survive the day, and sleeping.

​Lately a whole new wave of fears has been unlocked. The career tension is real, the pressure to figure out the rest of my life is suffocating , and the constant anxiety about the future is exhausting.

One more thing most adult of my age who are serious about life are thinking a lot about future.

​I find myself deeply, deeply missing my childhood. I miss the days when time moved slowly, when my biggest worry was just showing up to class, and when making memories felt effortless. Now, it feels like I’m just watching time slip through my fingers while trying not to drown in adulthood.

​To those who have completed their grad and are further down the road:

\*Did you feel like this?

\*How did you cope with the sudden speed of life and the crushing career pressure?

I'm cs student..

I've completed my 2nd year recently. For the last 2 months I have been applying for an internship for devops role.

​

I started my coding journey in the 2nd semester.

I learned about the MERN stack for around 6 months while I was exploring other fields as well.

​

In the beginning of my 3rd semester i got to know about I got to know about AWS and cloud i just completed a gfg cloud practitioner course from there and it clicked instantly. I fell this is the field I am genuinely interested and start exploring about it and started my journey from there of learning devops and cloud.

​

Started with fundamentals and learned all the required tools months passed.

​

I really put my efforts for learning tools and concepts

Form the jan 2026 I was really so much serious about intership and all i started my prep made projects build my journey over LinkedIn.

​

Now it's mid-may and i started applying for the internship on platforms like LinkedIn , internshala, naukri.. in the beginning 15 days no response...

​

i thought i might be doing something wrong...

​

Update my way of applying and start approaching person from the field.

​

To be honest all the techie are too mean don't want to help any one apart from few...

​

So yeah now i'm regretting my decision I have opted this path where there is no worth afford and hard work..

​

So my humble request to my junior be mindful before opting any career in tech .

​

And looking for those few seniors who can help me with this .

​

Am i really confused with my career decisions need help.

​

WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
